      The second photo on the lead item in this thread is of Dot Smith on a knucklehead. It is the cover picture of The American Motorcycle Girls 1900-1950 by AMCA member Chris Sommer Simmons which I can recommend. ISBN is 978-0-9817270-5-9. The only other book I know on the topic is The Woman, the Motorcycle and the Women's Fashion Trends 1894-1915 by AMCA member Aldo Carrer, also recommended, with ISBN 9788886955232, with many period black and white photos captioned in Italian, English and German.

              Snagged from somewhere, Folks!

              Old photos can tell you a lot about working on Scheblers.

              Like tools.

                I see a brace, and bit in that photo, Tom. I'll have to add that to my tool box.

                  "Speed wrench", Eric!

                  Note the socket (instead of a "bit") just to the right of Harley Tool #1

                      PS: I only have an 18" Stillson.

                      PPS: Is that a zipper on the bib over-alls?

                          That's a right big pipe wrench there and as Eric mentioned the presence of the brace. I wonder if they were just staging tools for effect. I suppose you could use a brace with a flat screw bit for speedy disassembly but man that pipe wrench had a bit of leverage in the handle.

                            Uhoh.

                            My No. 901 Stanley brace (patents from '02 to '06) tightens, but ratchets turned left.
                            I tuned it with Harley tool #1 a few times, but can't figure out how to reverse it.

                            And my Stillson doesn't have "pipe" teeth.
                            (Maybe to begin with?)

                              Then here's two from New Zealand. A family photo, circa 1930, with dog, left hand sidecar chassis with (probably) locally built sidecar, all on a well-used circa 1923 Harley.

                              And a scan of a postcard: "NZ Police Patrolman on a 10/12 HP Harley Davidson c. 1923". I've seen the same picture with the bike identified as a 1924 model. Hard to tell whether the front mudguards are "dished" for the pre-24 narrow forks.
